Artificial shelters have been broadly applied to wind-reduction and dust-reduction engineering recently. However, the study about the effect of the modes of pore construction on the wind- reduction and dust-reduction is seldom presented. Therefore, there are no completely definite criteria to apply for designing shelter. In the present study, the SIMPLE-C numerical method and Low-Reynolds turbulent model are utilized to investigate the physical model of a shelter with porosity immersed in the atmospherical turbulent boundary layer and futher to understand the effect of the design parameters (slot size,porosity, and slots distribution etc.) on the flow structure , shelter effects and dust-reduction efficiency. The results show that 20 % porosity is optimum porosity and have best wind-reduction effects and dust-redustion efficiency at z/H=0.5, 0.75 than other heights. The larger slot size causes that the bleed folws have larger turbulent scales and best momentum transport in leewind. It extends the momentum defect duffusion. The fence of more permeable (40 % porosity) at z/H > 0.5 can offer a caushion in the bleed flow,therefore they have more larger shelter area than uniform distribution.
